Title: Apparatus for winding web materials
IPC: B65H19/22
Filed: 1968-09-26
Abstract: 1,214,075. Winding webs. BLACK CLAWSON CO. 26 Sept., 1968 [2 Oct., 1967], No. 45838/68. Heading B8R. Web winding apparatus comprises a winder 15 including a turret 20 having spaced arms 26, 28 carrying two cores 30 in parallel spaced relation; a reversible motor 21 for rotating the turret 20 to move each core between a roll unloading station B and a web transfer station A; a roll changer 50 including a horizontally extending member 55 carrying tracks supporting a movable carriage 70; a pressure roll 95 mounted on the carriage 70; a mechanism (Fig. 9, not shown) for moving the carriage 70 between a retracted position and an extended position locating the pressure roll 95 in the path of the cores; at least one knife mechanism 120 supported on the carriage 70 for movement between a retracted position relative to the pressure roll 95 and an extended position projecting into the path of a web directed around the pressure roll; and a mechanism for moving the knife to sever the web and direct its leading end into engagement with an empty core moved to the transfer station A into pressure engagement with the pressure roll 95. Operation.-A web W is directed to the roll changer 50 over guide rolls 61, 62, a squaring roll 65, and either under or over the pressure roll 95 depending whether clockwise or counterclockwise winding of a roll R is required; as the roll R builds up, upper and lower limit switches (Fig. 8, not shown) are actuated by the increasing diameter to control the carriage motor 78 so that the carriage 70 retracts in incremental steps and the pressure roll 95 acts as a rider roll on the roll R. When the roll R is almost fully wound it is moved to the unloading station B by the slow rotation of the turret 20, and an empty core 30 with a prepared adhesive surface is moved to the station A; continued rotation of the turret 20 causes the pressure roll 95 to be retracted and held away from the empty core 30 until the latter is brought into contact with the web W. At this point, the pressure roll 95 is urged against the empty core 30, and at the same time a limit switch 24 controlled by the rotation of the turret 20 energizes the knife mechanism 120, causing the knife 125 to sever the web and to wipe the leading end of the web against the prepared surface of the core, thereby starting a new roll. The cores 30 are provided with reversible drive motors so that the winding may be effected in either clockwise or counter-clockwise directions.

Title: Improvements in and relating to data processing
Inventor: HAUCK ERWIN ARTHUR
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 1968-10-04
Abstract: 1,200,564. Data processing. BURROUGHS CORP. 4 Oct., 1968 [11 Oct., 1967], No. 47156/68. Heading G4A. In a digital computer system with two processors and a common memory (e.g. multimodule) addressable from either, every address from one processor is modified by a constant amount before use. As described, the moduleselecting portion of each address from either processor is incremented by the contents of a manually-set index register respective to the processor, before use, memory access being inhibited if the incremented portion exceeds the contents of a manually-set limit register respective to the processor. The incrementing facility allows memory modules to be exclusively assigned to respective processors without writing the programmes to achieve this. As a modification, the module-selecting portion can be compared with the limit register before rather than after incrementation.

Title: A device for automatically controlling the attitude of a space satellite utilizing geomagnetic field
Inventor: KUBO MORITADA
IPC: B64G1/32
Filed: 1969-09-25
Abstract: 1285919 Automatic control of satellites TOKYO SHIBAURA ELECTRIC CO Ltd 25 Sept 1969 [27 Sept 1968 (2)] 47227/69 Heading G3R The vector senses of attitude, attitude error and ambient geomagnetic field are combined to determine the necessary sense of operation of a reversing switch controlling the energization of a coil fixed to the satellite so that it corrects the error by interaction with the geomagnetic field. In Fig. 3, a sensor 303, such as a gyroscope, horizon sensor, sun sensor or star tracker carried by an earth orbiting satellite produces a signal dependent on the attitude of the spin axis of the satellite. A reference signal is produced by a gyroscopic or a sun, star or earth seeking device 302 which is set to correspond with a desired attitude of the satellite. A signal representing the difference between moments of inertia of the satellite relative to the actual and desired attitudes is derived from the above signals at 307 and applied to a computer 304 together with a signal representing the direction of the ambient geomagnetic field derived from a magnetometer 301 and the signal representing the attitude of the satellite from sensor 303. Computer 304 calculates from its inputs a function the sign of which determines the position of a reversing relay 308 controlling the energization of a coil 310 having an axis coincident with the spin axis of the satellite. As a result a current is applied alternately in one sense and the other to maintain the satellite in a desired attitude. In a modification, the coil current variations during orbit are controlled by a digital programmer which is periodically updated, e.g. once per orbit, by signals transmitted to the satellite from a computer on the ground. At the same frequency, e.g. once per orbit, signals from an attitude sensor transmitted from the satellite, and data on the orbit, location and speed of the satellite derived from a tracking radar, are applied to update simulators in the computer on the ground. Immediately after each updating of the programmer in the satellite, the computer predicts from that programme, which is stored, and the latest orbital and attitude data, the programme of coil current variations which will be transmitted at the next updating of the programmer in the satellite.

Abstract: 1,057,149. Shot guns. V. A. OKOSUN. Nov. 25, 1964 [Dec. 9, 1963], No. 48550/63. Heading F3C. In a gun having a drop-down barrel portion comprising one or two barrels, the firing mechanism comprises a trigger 4, Fig. 1, a hammer 7, a leaf-spring 14 pivoted at 17 and a firing-pin 11. One end of the leaf-spring is engageable with the trigger either directly (as shown in Fig. 1) or by means of an intermediate lever and the other end is engageable with the hammer 7. The gun is cocked by moving the lever 12 integral with the hammer forwards so that the ends of the spring 14 engage in recesses 10 and 6 in the hammer and trigger respectively and a projection 5 on the latter engages in a recess 8 of the hammer. When the trigger is squeezed the ends of the spring are forced together until the projection 5 slips out of the recess 8 which enables the leaf-spring to rotate the hammer very rapidly to fire the gun. A cartridge is ejected by an ejector 20 slidable in a sleeve 22 and actuated by a cam 21 on the pivot 19. In a modification the firing-pin is mounted on a leaf-spring and is adapted to be struck by the hammer which has the lever 12 projecting upwards and the barrel is locked to the butt by a slidable lever engaging in a slot on the barrel portion. In another embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), one end of a lever 115 engages the hammer 107 while the other end is engaged by a tooth 104 on the trigger. One end of the leaf-spring 111 engages the hammer 107 while the other end engages the lever 115. The gun is cocked automatically on breaking the gun by a rod 120 actuated by a cam on the barrel pivot. When the trigger is squeezed the lever 115 and the hammer 107 cause the ends of the spring to move together until the lever 115 releases the hammer to fire the gun. A safety-device in the form of a bar 142 on the end of a lever 140 having a knob 141 can be moved into a position in which the lever 115 cannot be pivoted by the trigger. The barrel is locked to the butt by a bar 128 engaging in a recess in the barrel portion and disengageable by rotation of a cam 136 by rod 135 and handle 130. Release of the latter enables a spring 134 to return the bar 128 to the locking position. In a further embodiment, Fig. 6 (not shown), a similar arrangement of trigger 211, leaf spring 221 and hammer 215 is provided. The barrel portion is locked to the butt by engagement of the forked end 252 of the bar 251 loaded by spring 258 with the notch 245. The bar 251 being movable rearwards by rotation of a cam 261 by a lever 263, the cam co-operating with the edge of a slot 257 in the arm 256 of the bar 251. A safety device is also operated by the handle 263 which when moved in the same direction as that used to unlock the barrel causes the firing-pin 231 to be displaced laterally by means of levers engaging in slots in a slide on which the pin is mounted so that if the hammer is released it will not strike the pin. The gun is locked by engagement of the spring-loaded bar 246 with the projection 217 of the hammer when the gun is broken.
